Ingredients

• 250 g Ground chicken (Preferably finely minced)
• 1 clove Garlic clove (peeled and minced)
• 4 tbsp Light soy sauce (3 tbsp for dipping sauce, 1 tbsp for filling)
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce (For filling)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 4 tbsp Sesame oil (1 tbsp for filling, 2 tbsp for tossing, 1 tbsp for dipping sauce)

• 2 Green onion (One for filling, one for garnish, finely chopped)
• 30 Wonton wrappers (Round wrappers, about 10 cm diameter)
• 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds (For garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling

   Peel the garlic clove and mince it. Finely chop the chicken (or use ground chicken). In a mixing bowl combine the chicken, minced garlic, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp ground black pepper, 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tsp cornstarch. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

3. Make the dipping sauce

   In a small bowl combine 3 tbsp light soy sauce with 1 tbsp sesame oil. Stir well and set aside.

   Time: PT2M

4. Assemble the dumplings

   Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tsp of the chicken filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold the wrapper into a triangle, press the edges together to seal, then bring the opposite corner over to create a classic wonton shape, pressing to glue the final seam. Repeat until all wrappers are used.

   Time: PT15M

5. Cook the dumplings

   Bring 3 L of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Gently add the dumplings, stirring lightly so they don’t stick to the bottom. Reduce to medium heat and cook without a lid until the water returns to a boil (about 3‑4 minutes). Quickly add about 25 ml of cold water to lower the temperature, then let the water come back to a boil again. Repeat the cold‑water addition once more, then cook for another 2‑3 minutes until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: Medium heat

6. Finish and serve

   Transfer the cooked dumplings to a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tbsp sesame oil, toss gently, then sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and the remaining chopped green onion on top. Serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.
